Hayle: Doors Engineered for Wind-Blown Sand and Salt
By Cornwall Composite Doors · 11 December 1969 · 4 min read
Hayle's beachside properties near the Towans face relentless sand and salt exposure — here's the specification we use as standard across the town.
The Towans set the standard for the whole town
Hayle's proximity to the Towans and St Ives Bay means even properties set back from the immediate beachfront get more sand and salt in the air than an average coastal town. We treat Hayle as a marine-grade default across most of the town rather than only on the streets closest to the dunes.
Drainage detailing that actually gets used
Wind-driven rain combined with sand exposure means drainage detail through the cill isn't a nice-to-have in Hayle — it's doing real work most weeks of the year. Every install here gets a full drainage path so water clears rather than pooling against the frame and finding its way through over time.
Fixings that won't seize
Stainless steel hinges, screws and multipoint mechanism components are standard on every Hayle installation. We've seen what a standard fixing kit looks like after a few years in this environment on other companies' work — seized hinges and corroded screw heads are the most common early failure, and it's entirely avoidable with the right spec from the start.
Colours and styles that suit Hayle's housing
Hayle's mix of older harbourside stock and later beach-adjacent housing means we fit a genuine range here — heritage colours for the older terraces, contemporary Anthracite Grey and White for the newer estate and beachfront properties.
